Texas Tea Room & Cafe

My husband rated his a 3 and mine was a 4, but since I could not rate our food a 3 1/2, I gave it a 4. I bumped it up with their customer service being EXCELLENT! We were traveling and called in an order with them being very busy at the time. The wonderful person who answered the phone took the time to answer all my questions and was polite. They were VERY busy, but the online menu was blurry and so we needed some help, she provided it. I had the non-traditional chicken salad sandwich on their homemade nut bread and I would give it a 4. It was not the best I ever had, but it was very … enjoyable and filling. My husband had the Rueben with sweet potato fries and he gave it a 3. He said it tasted average, but the corned beef was over cooked and dry. He was not crazy about the sweet potato fries, but he too thought the person who helped us, both on the phone and inside, was incredible. I would say if we are ever out that way we would try them again. It is nice to have GREAT customer service and nice to have some of the choices we had off of their menu.

I recommend this establishment! I took my beautiful bride of almost 25 years to sample the local fare at the recommendation of Lisa in the Driver's License office. As we walked in we were greeted by smiling faces and an almost packed front room. We seated ourselves, as instructed. Our drink orders were taken almost immediately. It was chicken fried steak day! We both ordered the special, the chicken fried steak was served with white gravy; and was delicious. Crunchy and good flavor, the coating stuck. The gravy was tasty. The green beans had excellent flavor, but were overcooked. I thought the mashed potatoes were so-so, but I like lumps in my potatoes. I had three deserts. Red velvet cake, carmel cheesecake, and carrots cake. I was not a fan of the red velvet, however the other two were excellent. We will be back.

Our Tuesday place to eat! Friendly staff, good home cooking food. The manager Kim is so nice and always available. Hailie is our usual waitress and she always remembers our drink choices and food. Very swift on serving and treats us like family!! Vegetarian options: Salads and wraps Parking: Open parking Kid-friendliness: Crayons, high chairs Wheelchair accessibility: no stairs

Chicken salad sandwich is good. The grilled chicken pita was OK. Service is lacking however. Very unfriendly. We did not feel welcome here. Workers do not practice safe distancing for their patrons. Everyone is jammed in together. Workers do not wear masks or gloves. I saw waitress wiping down table without any kind of disinfectant. And then she just put it on top of the bar. Then she grabbed it again and wiped the next table! I was quite shocked. We will never be returning here with that kind of carelessness! That is a sure way to create a pandemic right there in your own home town of Carthage. Thank God we were just passing through. Complete and utterly shocking!!!

A very adorable and affordable little place to eat. We went for lunch. We got the Santa Fe Egg rolls which were delicious but we expected more than just 3 rolls cut in half for the price $9. I had the fish and chips and my fiancé had spaghetti bolognese. Both very good, although I wasn't a fan of the tartar sauce with my fish— too dill-y. I would go back again.

I wish I could give this place 50 stars! Hands down amazing! I've lived Carthage for 15 years and never tried it before. Definitely can't wait to go backFood: 5/5

Food seemed frozen and salad out of a bag. Steak was tough. The servers were doing a great job and were very attentive and pleasant. The food missed on all marks for me, wife and daughter.Food: 1/5

Very friendly staff. Helpful with food decisions. Chicken salad recommended by waitress and paired it with tortilla soup, both were very good. Wife had pulled pork and I stole a few bites of it

Firstly: we believe the the safe in the lobby is a Cannonball safe- there are only a few left, one is in the Smithsonian see the Wikipedia Secondly: our lunch was simply wonderful! The meatloaf was tasty and juicy. The pulled pork sandwich was amazing, the sweet potato fries melted in our mouth and the salad was fresh and uniformly cut

We stopped on our way through town and really enjoyed this place. The downtown square was a nice place to stop and this was such a welcoming restaurant. We had the torta leni and the shrimp and grits. Everything was great and super huge portions.
